EGG-BEATER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 322,250, dated July 1%, 1885.

Application filed March 28, 1885. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, THOMAS W. BROWN, a citizen of the United States,Vf residing at Belmont, in the county of Middlesex and State of Massachusetts, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Egg-Beaters, of which the following is a speciiication.

Myinvention relates to that class of egg beaters in which one or more beaters mounted 1o upon Vertical axes are made to revolve by a crank and gears, the object being to so improve the construction that the cost of manufacture may be very much reduced; and to this end I have so constructed the parts that I 5 the only hand-labor required, except that of molding, is greatly assisted by and almost supplanted by machinery. This object I attain by the mechanism shown in the accompanying drawings, in which 2o Figure l is an elevation of my invention. Fig. 2 is a cross vertical section of the same. Figs. 3 and 4 show a Inodiiied handle to be used in case twobeaters are employed, and Fig. 5 is a vertical section showing the method of attaching the various parts to the handle.

In the drawings, A represents the handle of the egg-beater; made of cast metal, and is formed with a recess, A, Figs. 1 and 2, an opening, A2, and a bridge-piece, A3. The object of making the handle A with these features is twofold--that is, I obtain a socket for the axis-wire E that will, in connection with a single rivet, H, hold the same rmly in place.

B is a gearwhecl having a handle, C, by

which it is turned. This gear-wheel B engages with the pinion D, connected to the beater D', and thus causes the said beater D to revolve.

The rivet H, Figs. 1 and 2, serves to hold the wheel B,.the handle A, and the axis-Wire 4c E securely in place.

In case two beaters are required, I use the form of handle shown in Figs. 3, 4, and 5 that is, the handle A is cast with two recesses,

L L L L-and instead of the bridge A3, I use a plate of metal, A4, Fig. 5, which serves to connect and hold the two axis-wires D2 D3, Fig. 5. In this modilied form I have two pinions, cl d', Fig. 5, which engage with each other, and are driven by the action of the gear B ou 5c the pinion d.

71. h, Fig. 5are washeis, placed as shown, so as to make better bearings for rivet H.

The rivet shown at H, Figs. 2 and 3, is provided with a shoulder, h3, which prevents its head from binding on the wheelB, and thus creating too much friction. y

I claim- In an egg-beater, the combination of the handle A, provided with a recess, A', the rivet 6c H, and axis-wire E, with the gears B D and the beater D', all operating together substantially as described, and `for the purpose set forth.

THOMAS WV. BROWN.
